Cook, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes or until almost all liquid is evaporated and jam is slightly thickened. Stir in remaining rosemary.

    Bacon Balsamic Onion Jam: Cook bacon in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat 5 minutes or until browned and cooked; add 2 cups red onions. Continue cooking 3-5 minutes or until onions are softened; add all remaining ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture just comes to a boil. Continue cooking 35-40 minutes until almost all liquid is evaporated.

    Apricot Onion Jam: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 2-quart saucepan over medium heat; add 1 1/2 cups onion. Cook 3-5 minutes or until slightly softened; add apricots, 1/4 cup brown sugar, honey and salt.
